Spy x Family workbook scans - part 3

Here's the last batch of scans from the SxF workbook series (at least until they make more!) This one is about learning how to draw and color.

I especially liked the below two illustrations~ Anya helping Mama shop and cook ❤️

The book artists did a fantastic job with Anya's expressions!

Anya dressed as Loid, Yor, and Becky 😂

The next four pages is an activity where you either have to paste stickers or color objects for Anya and Bond's many outfits (I put the stickers on but didn't bother to color anything, lol). I love little confused Loid off to the side 😅

My favorites are mermaid Anya/lobster Bond, and their pirate and devil outfits 😁 I also love Anya's だいまんぞく(completely satisfied) expression in the lower right of the last page.

Anya and Becky shopping! (some of the illustration is white for you to color in). Anya's says, "Anya wants to drink cocoa and eat peanuts" and Becky replies, "You're such a child, as usual." 😅

And last but not least, one final cute family image! (the plate is empty because you're supposed to draw whatever you want to be their meal). I wonder what Loid's "WINE" wine tastes like 😆

If more of these books are ever made, I'll definitely try to get copies and make more scans!

[kurtmustdie]

caught up with cringetober because I literally forgot to do it, individuals and explanations under cut

Day 1: Heterochromia I’ve come to the revaluation that my sona is already cringe as hell considering not only can his entire body change color but he also has differently colored eyes as a staple of his design. They’re usually yellow and blue but this time I color picked the blue from the trans flag and the mint from the Vincian flag for this color palette, it turned out really pretty :)

Day 2: Self Insert Now she isn’t my self insert anymore, but back in the day when I was at “peak cringe” she definitely was. This is my warriors OC Icypelt and I have a post going over part of her story on my profile somewhere. She’s been through a lot and I think her modern design is very pretty :)

Day 3: Unnecessarily complex fit/design Spider scene is kinda infamous in my brain for having wayyy too much detail but I love them and I think this might be my favorite one out of this batch, super cute, the pose is really cute and the colors are nice and fits her really well :D

day 4: Angel x Devil inevitable MCR reference ik, Helena and Revenge, love them dearly. Poor revenge man this one is cute and looks like a sticker!!

Day 6 (I skipped day 5 because I didn’t want to open up ms paint today): neko i kinda hate this one but cat Gerard yay

Day 7: Pinterest base at first I wanted to draw hobie in place of Gwen but I remembered that I haven’t really drawn Mikey with her even though they’re supposed to be friends so I drew her instead. Idk. The height difference is not accurate because of that but Jumping Spider is small because he’s based on a jumping spider and those are tiny who would have thought

Day 8: tumblr sexyman i have never played undertale a day in my life i just know a lot of people wanted to jump sans’ bones

day 9: Crossover ship/rarepair OH BOY THIS ONE GOES KIND OF HARD AND IM EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY KIND OF WORK FOR EACH OTHER UM MIGUEL OHARA X CLOTTED CREAM COOKIE IM INSANE OMG-

day 10: fursona i already have a fursona I already drew and yes I colorpicked from the lesbian flag how could you tell /j

Day 11: Yandere LYLA is technically canonically a yandere because spoiler alert she tried to kill Miguel’s fiancé via overheating her in the shower (essentially literally boiling her like a lobster) because she was “in love” with him (she said if she did have autonomy and had feelings the would be in love with him but she doesn’t but idk who knows I don’t).

day 12: niche interest ik MCR isn’t exactly “niche” but the black parades story in particular has always caught my interest and I have my own interpretation of it and a whole kind of story I’m still developing and character arcs and headcanons and interactions and yeah you get it, death in particular has evolved into god knows an OC on his own I just keep him attached to MCR because… it makes more sense that way, ig-

day 13: creepypasta does this count- whatever grimdark is just the same thing as a creepypasta- I’m not really in the MLP fandom anymore but it was my first ever “fandom” I was actually apart of. My first hyperfixation if you will. I wasn’t in the grimdark part of the fandom because I was too young for it but I was actually watching the izzzyzzz grimdark video and I was like “oh” and drew a rainbow factory Rainbowdash. Honestly I should draw ponies more they’re fun to draw

Day 14: candygore (?) im not good at drawing candygore and since I was rushing this o didn’t do it as well as I thought I can, but it still turned out pretty cool

Day 15: song lyrics aaaa inevitable hesitant alien drawing this one turned out so cute!! The colors and the sparkle eek so cute aaa action cat lyrics I’m breaking down right in front of you I’m sorry

planning on doing the rest of the month now, maybe not exactly on time since I’m still in school but I’ll try to get 31 drawings out by Halloween. Love the idea of cringetober because I just love all things cringe. Ack this is so good

[moon-drop-books-llc]

Here are all the sketches from week two of my aquatic animals series. I had some trouble with a few of these, but I ultimately like the results (except for the lobster. I fixed that during the line art and coloring). Which one's your favorite?

[glitchbitchwritingblog]

😭 I love them so much! And like I picture Katla's home to be small(think tudor peasant house) but she has a set of good china that she uses everyday cause she's like "now My ma always said to use the good China for important folk,but who can be more important than those you love and care for?" So like her china has chips and cracks and has been glued together in certain areas. And if any of the boys broke something she would be THRILLED because well in katlas words: "Oh how lovely! A new memory for this lovely plate!" Like she makes sure the glass didnt hurt them or get in their food but she loves little happy accidents like that. Oh I can imagine katla would just love all of them so much >~<! And when she learns Flynt is blind,she helps him learn the layout of her home and starts labeling things in brail and she also makes him noise canceling ear muffs cause she's like "Being blind means your other senses must be even more sensitive than a non-blind person, so when the noise is too much,put these on baby and they should help a bit."

And like the southern women that inspired her,she calls everyone baby,sweetheart,Angel,dear,darling,lovey,and Honey. And she will let them help in the kitchen if they want,teaching them how to cook and writing recipies down for them (For flynt she'd write both in print and in Braille) so that even when she passes away they'll always have her recipies.

I can see Katla,when learning about any of the boys pasts(especially Flynts and Marigolds) she goes a bit off like :"Oh those awful people! How dare they treat anyone that way and cause you so much pain and harm!! Oh why I outta go get my good cast iron and beat the tar out of them! God's have mercy! You didnt deserve any of what they did baby!"and hugging them(with permission) and she means every word. You ever been hit with a cast iron pan? It hurts. ALOT. (Once dropped one on my toes!)

Also like when Mary learns about the boys" pasts,I so see her holding their hands and being like "If I ever see those meanies I'm gonna bite them reaaally super duper hard! Don't worry! I'll keep you safe from all the meanies!" Also I can see her covering them in stickers when she thinks they seem sad cause stickers make her happy. And if they have night terrors and it wakes her up one night,once the guy having them wakes up and is calming down,she would just toddle in with her stuffies and dollies and her favorite blanket(which is way to small for all of them) and giving them to them going "Mr.wiggles,Mrs.wiggles,Mr.Whiskers and Lady Lobster Tortallini the 3rd will keep you safe from all the bad dreams n scary monsters,and Mr.blankey will help you feel safe! Cause Mr.Blankey makes me feel safe! "

😭 the brain rot is reaaallll

I swear, the @mulberrycafe oc brainrot is reaaallll RN! And I cant help but think about how my own ocs would interact/treat them so imma just share my thoughts as they will not leave me be x3

Katla,my elderly DB, would FUSS SO MUCH over them! Especially Hewen,Wyrm,Marigold ,Flynt and Bass. Because shes sorta based off the southern grannies I grew up around,you bet your last septim she wold make sure these boys EAT. Cornbread,turnip greens,black eye peas,steaks,fish,gumbos and soups. And LOOORRDDYYY would she fuss over any injury they got and she would most certainly tend to them when they are ill. I can see her sneaking Wyrm some strawberry bon bons. And while she may forget her specs (or on particularly rough memory days,her pants) she never forgets what they're interested in. While she may not know much about their cultures and their full histories,she still tries to make her tiny cottage feel like home for them.

Mary would be absolutely enthralled by all of them and ask them 100000s of questions. She would also bring them books,neat rocks,and cool bugs she finds. In Flynts Case,she will use words to help paint an image in his mind of what gifts she has given him or what the clouds she was watching looks like. I can also see her bringing Marigold lots of neat flowers and shells. Bass would be one big jungle gym to her,and a fixer of booboos.

Just hnnngghhhh I love all of them so much 😭

Title

Yesterday was my birthday, and I just have to say it was a great day. Made pineapple upside-down cake, took the Things out for steak dinner (Thing2’s foodgasms alone were worth the cost of the meal), was wished a happy by many friends, and Penn made me a bunch of hand-drawn stickers from their “sea food creatures” series, which is one of my favorites!

Doughnut whaleshark, eclair/croissant lobster, sea pancake ray, eclair crab, and meatball & spaghetti jellyfish. They’re so adorable I can hardly stand it!!!!

(They’re bigger than they look in the pic; the whaleshark is almost as long as my hand, about 6 inches)

4 👀👀

(Ellie ily and I hope you appreciate my frog road trip fluff 🥺👉🏼👈🏼)

#4 was "Canyon Moon" by Harry Styles

"I'm going, oh, I'm going home"

“You dumb mother-! Chowder, does anyone in California know how to drive? Or do we happen to be stuck on the highway with the biggest idiots in the state?”

“Dexy, you said the same thing in Ohio. You ever consider that you might just have the teensiest bit of road rage? You need to-”

“I swear if you say what I think you’re gonna say-”

“Chill, Poindexter.”

Chowder looks up from the post card where he’s just finished drawing their route coast-to-coast. In the front seats, Dex’s hands are white-knuckled on the steering wheel and Nursey has his feet propped on the dashboard, watching Dex watch the road.

“And to think, I thought you two had actually grown up in the past four years, but here you are having the same arguments you did freshman year.” Chowder says. He watches as both Nursey and Dex roll their eyes and smile, knowing they’re both way past their old spiteful bickering. He quickly signs the postcard still in his hands before tapping Nursey’s shoulder and dropping the card and his Sharpie into his lap.

“Yo, thanks, C.” Nursey signs his name, right through Arizona and New Mexico, adding a smiley face over Texas.

He pulls Dex’s hand off the steering wheel, puts the marker in it, and taps on the card for Dex to sign as well. As soon as Dex is finished he takes back the marker and places Dex’s hand back on the wheel. “C, do you still have those stickers we bought at that gas station in Illinois?”

Chowder nods and leans down to rifle through his bag on the floor. “Yeah, gottem right here! What kind d’you want?”

“The frog page, obviously, the leaves, aaaaaaand one of those little lobsters that Dex wanted.”

“I did not-”

“I know you said you didn’t want them, but I know you better than you know yourself. You needed them. Craved those little adhesive crustaceans more than any other physical object in the world. Anyway, C, those should be good since you already added the shark stamp.”

Chowder passes up the appropriate sticker pages up, and turns his head to watch the cars out the window. He’s glad to be almost back home, only a few hours left of their week long adventure. He’s excited to see his family members who couldn’t make it to his graduation, to eat at all his favorite restaurants in the bay again (Boston’s Chinatown was disappointing to say the least), and to start training with the Sharks.

He’s definitely going to miss Samwell, he already does and they’d only left a week ago. But he’s still taking the most important parts of Samwell with him. Dex had gotten a job offer at a startup in Silicon Valley the same day Chowder had gotten an offer from the Sharks, and Nursey had immediately started looking into publishing houses in the area. Farmer had already been accepted to a med school and she’d be starting in the fall. All of Chowder’s favorite people in his favorite place, living their dreams.

He leans up to the front seat to turn up the radio and snag the card back from Nursey. Nursey immediately turns the volume up even more and starts belting at the top of his lungs. Dex looks over, (fond as fuck. Chowder’s brain adds, definitely fine worthy), and taps his fingers on the wheel. Chowder watches them both, laughs, and sings along.

“I'm going, oh, I'm going (I'm going home)

I'm going, oh, I'm going (I'm going home)”

Mermay Days 16-21 - Sand, Lobster, Volcano, Undertow, Algae

These were much fun for me to do, and much easier all as one big thing. My favorite has to be Sand since it’s is based off one of my fav animals to find at the shoreline, a smol little sand crab. Plus self indulgent markings bbbbbb-

Every one is kinda meh but that’s ok, I was able to draw them just fine. Maybe one day I’ll sell em as stickers if anyone would want them, who knows.

Single dad sanemi, tengen and flaming cheetos pillar picking up the wrong kid at school on halloween?

Single Father’s Accidentally Leave Their Children Behind (and have people critique their parenting skills.) 

Count: 1k-2k words.

苦あれば楽あり。

Sanemi Shinazugawa

When you don’t get out of the car so you pick up the wrong child.

Sanemi was definitely the type of father who doesn’t get out of the car and stand outside for his child.

There’s no way he’s doing that.

Even on Halloween, he’s just going to sit in the car.

Does he even remember his child’s costume? Wait, yes he does, it’s the Kaonashi spirit from that Ghibli movie. 

He remembered cause they nearly gave him a heart attack this morning.

So yeah, he’s waiting in the car and he’s not going to get out.

That means his child has to remember what their car looks like and enter it.

Sanemi doesn’t lock his doors either, so his kid is just stepping into the car and closing it and that’s the routine.

Sanemi is just looking at the highway, doesn’t even bother looking at the rearview mirror AS HE SHOULD when the car door opens and closes

This dude just starts zooming, the child ain’t even say a word yet, he’s just ready to go.

It’s probably like five minutes into the drive when the child is like

“Can we get McDonald’s?”

Sanemi knows what his child sounds like and

That’s … That’s not his kid.

The fucking thing’s not even wearing the same outfit, the child’s dressed like the fucking donkey from Shrek.

So now Sanemi is turning the whole car around, cursing up a storm and is teaching this child stuff they shouldn’t be knowing at their young age.

And the child won’t shut up either, asking shit like “what’s that?” or “what’s this?”, “is that a bad word?”, “my mommy said your face is scary.”

By the time they get back to school, there’s like five policemen, seven adults all huddling together yelling their ass off, and his dolled up child thumbing a toy monkey.

It’s a shit storm the minute Sanemi gets out, now his parenting skills are being questioned and his child is complaining about a lollipop stuck on the back of their head.

Don’t you just hate when you have to be reasonable and not yell at the police so you don’t get arrested in front of your child? Me too.

45 min later him and his kid are on their way home and it’s silent.

How is possible to be in an awkward situation with your child? 

Just utter awkward silence.

His kid asks for McDonald’s because that’s all kids ever ask for but also because they know Sanemi has to get McDonald’s for them as compensation for almost leaving them behind. Yes, his child is manipulative… they get it from their mom.

Sanemi: “You want McDonald’s? Yea, I’ll get you fucking McDonalds.”

Ever since then, Sanemi stands outside the car and waits for his child like a good parent or whatever the fuck those are.

“And you have to go with me to trick-or-treating tonight.”

“You’re pushing it, brat.”

Tengen Uzui

When you bring the wrong child home and your girlfriend (s) scream at you and you call the parents of the child but the mom is flirting with you because you’re sexy and her man is failing to suffice her needs as her romantic partner and now you’re wondering about the environment their kid lives in on a daily basis. *inhales*

Hear me out, Tengen is a great dad, okay.

He’s the dad every kid wants, buys them whatever they want and rarely scolds them.

Takes them out to arcades and theaters or brings them to his work and everything.

His girlfriends are so sweet too, imagine having three moms that aren’t annoying and cook for you whenever you want. They weren’t here every day, but when they were it was fun. 

His girlfriends are the ones who help pick out his kid’s costume for Halloween.

Which is a boiled lobster? 

His kid wanted to be a boiled lobster for Halloween.

The mind of a child is truly something else.

So yeah, his kid went to school as a boiled lobster and you’d think that no one else would dress up their kid as a boiled lobster for halloween.

I mean, what are the odds, right?

Apparently, the odds are high cause someone dresses up their kid as a lobster too, only they went up a notch and added a freaking pot the child could sit in at times.

Talk about showing off.

So there’s two little kids walking the school grounds as lobsters and no one’s able to differentiate the two and it’s kind of sad.

The teacher’s don’t even put like a sticker to label them they just let the cute kids walk around looking identical.

So when it’s the end of the day and he’s waiting to pick up his kid and he sees just a peach-colored lobster running out of the school, he just picks them up with ease, gives them a kiss (not that the kid can feel it, but it’s the sentiment that matters)

He’s already buckled them up and while the kid is yapping, Tengen can’t really distinguish it under the costume so he’s just agreeing with everything that’s being babbled.

It gets to the point though the kid is so talkative, it’s got him a bit amused. Were they this much of a talker? 

So he’s just pretending to understand what’s being said until the ride home.

Kid’s already taken the buckle off and hopped out of the car and Hinatsuru is standing outside holding a cloth eager for the kid.

[Your girlfriend(s) will always abandon you for something cuter.]

Tengen hasn’t even locked the car when Hinatsuru starts screaming her head off

Here he’s thinking her life is in danger and he rounds the car, Suma and Makio must have thought the same because they’re suddenly standing outside too, but no Hinatsuru is just yelling because that’s not his kid..

“Whose child is this?! Tengen, who is this?”

Tengen just double-takes.

This kid with chubby red cheeks was adorable yeah but…

That’s not his kid, fuck.

(His kid is way cuter, more flamboyant, mind you.)

Now, all of them are yelling while this little toddler is looking back and forth with the biggest eyes he’s ever seen, christ.

Slowly, the yelling dissolves into some solutions. After-school is probably starting and the office should still be open, they could call and ask around.

The kid finally talks again and tells them their name and everything. Hinatsuru takes the child in and she tries to get them some apple juice or something.

It’s an hour of calling people and jumping around and staying in waiting lists that he finally gets a hold of the kid’s mom.

My god, she’s pissed at first. Yeah, she has his kid but the venom dripping off her words are insane, it doesn’t really feel as if it’s directed to him specifically but a woman’s scorn burns everything it touches.

However, you don’t get three girlfriends just being anybody. He’s charismatic and smart with his words.

So, it’s only after like five minutes of talking that he’s able to ease up her biting language and allow him to pick up his child.

Minute she sees him, she’s hooked, he could always see the signs.

She has his kid right beside her, a hand on their shoulder, but she’s not giving them up yet. No, she starts asking questions about him, about his life and what he does. She’s leaning in and listening intently to what he has to say; her eyes never breaking point with his. A manicured hand roams her collarbone with an agonizing slowness and as she leans against the doorframe, she crosses her legs.

Feminine wiles, he was aware of them and he pitied any man that drowned in them. It was the strategy he respected, though.

What was even worse was that he could even see the wedding ring that glistened on her ring finger… Yikes, what kind of awkward environment was their child in? Maybe, he should schedule dates for their kid to come over…

The mother was in a trance and it doesn’t pop until he hears his kid look at her and say, “My dad has three girlfriends!”

And her kid goes, “My mom has a secret boyfriend too!”

Welp.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kyojuro is a favorite at his kid’s school.

It’s pretty hard for him to pick him up the wrong kid. There’s only one child with eyebrows like his, and he loves them very much!

Plus, they dressed up as the Nyango Star and that was a rare mascot.

You see, Kyojuro is well known at his kid’s school for his eyebrows and hair and the fact he gives the kids money and candy if they ask.

Because of that, the kids love him, it crazy, some of them love him more than their own parents… 

His kid has a lot of friends too and they all love going to his house to play or spend the night.

So, he’s not surprised when he sees like five kids and his run over to him and ask to come over. Kumamon, Umabeh, Octopus, Sushi Roll, Dinosaur, and his beloved Nyango Star all come over and harass him to take them home.

He’s a bit of a pushover with children, he can’t help it, they’re just so cute.

Of course, he greets each parent and tells them about where their child is heading over too.

But now that means he’s stuffing six kids into a car and no-o his kid just has to go pee before they buckle up.

Now, Kyojuro is unzipping their costume a bit and is watching them run back into the school to pee. He’s just ready to take them home and let them have fun.

Also pictures, he’s taking a lot of pictures because they looked so adorable! He’d plaster them on the wall and everything and he’d parade it in their face when they are older and capable of feeling embarrassed.

They’re all waiting for his kid again but then Kyojuro hears a door on the side open and close and he just assumes that it’s his kid, cause y’know, who else would come into this car.

He’s already moving the vehicle when the kids are yelling at him that his kid isn’t here yet! Wait!

Wait.. what?

He brakes, cranes his head and sees some child dressed as a yellow and red clown crouching in his car with huge, wet eyes.

Kumamon-bo points out, “she’s crying, Rengoku-san!”

Clown baby’s face is wet, her makeup is dripping.

then Octopus-chan says, “she looks like Rengoku-san!”

And all the kids are yelling and tittering while this young baby is about to scream.

Kyojuro slowly moves back to the school grounds and there he sees his kid and two parents standing there worryingly.

Of course, his kid is crying too and just clings to his pant leg when he gets out. The kids in the car (minus the little clown) are acting like this is the funniest thing they’ve ever seen in their little life.

Kyojuro’s kid accuses him of not wanting them which is far from the truth but he lets them cry it out as he picks them up and eagerly apologizes to the clown girl’s parents for the mishap.

On the road he offers the loud children food, and that’s the story as to why there’s six toddlers in wrinkled yuru-chara costumes with one grown man all noisily eating Okonomiyaki in a family restaurant.

I Went to New Hampshire to See The Witch on a Billboard

Earlier this summer, A24 - the distributor that brought us such modern favorites as Hereditary, Midsommar, Green Room, Ex Machina, Under the Skin, and A Ghost Story - announced unique summer screenings dubbed Public Access. The series finds six A24 films being projected on billboards in or around each respective film's setting or filmmaker's hometown. It kicked off last month with Lady Bird in Sacramento, CA and The Bling Ring in Van Nuys, CA last month.

Last night, I made the nearly-three-hour pilgrimage to Ossipee, New Hampshire to see The Witch as part of Public Access. (Writer-director Robert Eggers was born in nearby Lee, NH.) While the previous screenings took place in populated areas easily accessed by public transportation, this was a rural area far removed from major cities. I was unsure what to expect in terms of the screening facilities or the attendance. Thankfully, both far exceeded my expectations.

The screening took place on a billboard in the parking lot of a quaint seafood joint called Jena's Lobster Quest. Rabid cinephiles started lining up more than three hours before the advertised start time to ensure a seat. Upon entry, each person received a wristband that could be redeemed for a free meal - a lobster roll or a chicken salad roll with a small side, chips, and a drink - from the affable yet curious Lobster Quest waitstaff.

Mark Korven’s score for the film - an unnerving array of dissonant instruments - greeted attendees over the sound system. Beyond the restaurant awaited bales of hay with an A24-branded blanket on top. While they looked charming, they are not particularly comfortable to sit on for long periods; by the time the movie started, most viewers opted to put the blanket on the ground and use the hay as a backrest.

Each hay bale sat two people, but they quickly filled up. Some practical folks utilized lawn chairs or blankets that they brought from home. In all, around 150 lucky viewers were able to attend, but once that capacity was met the cordial A24 staff members unfortunately had to start turning people away. Rather than head home, a few diehards opted to set up camp in the parking lot across the street.

As if the complimentary food wasn't enough, there was a small merchandise stand in which patrons could pick up to three free issues of A24's zine (which sell for $5 each online) and Midsommar-themed A24 logo stickers. Exclusive Public Access screening shirts featuring the screening dates and locations on the back were also available for $26.

At 8 o'clock on the dot, a timer on the screen began counting down from 30 minutes. By the time it reached zero, the sky was appropriately dark. The crowd applauded as the trailer for The Lighthouse - Eggers' sophomore effort coming from A24 in October - rolled. The Witch then followed. As it has done since its debut in 2015, the film gripped the audience for every dread-inducing second of its 93-minute runtime. While most of the attendees were familiar with the film, the gasps of surprise during key moments indicated that some were witnessing it for the first time.

Far from a tawdry operation, the projector and sound system provided a high-quality experience akin to a drive-in theater. Of the six stark-white billboards chosen for Public Access screenings, Ossipee's seems to offer the best view; it's low to the ground with new buildings, trees, or other obstructions in front of it. To top it off, we were graced with good weather; clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and minimal bugs.

I already believed The Witch is one of the most effective contemporary horror films, and experiencing it in an outdoor setting with the ominous woods looming behind me only added to the tension. Although located right on Route 16, the remote highway is not highly trafficked at night, and the vehicles that passed by were barely noticeable. I do wonder what the drivers thought when they saw flashes of nightmarish imagery on the screen as they went by.

A24's Public Access screenings continue later this month with Good Time in New York, The Spectacular Now in Georgia, and Moonlight in Florida. While it was fortuitous that The Witch was within driving distance for me, I would go back for any A24 release, so I'd highly recommend attending if it's in your area. The screening series offers a unique way to engage audiences new and old while building the brand. I hope to see it become an annual summer event.

que-pasa-calabasa’s Good Omens fic rec masterpost

In no particular order, except for the fact that I’m putting all the PWP (or close approximations thereof) together at the bottom. Some will be not be show-canon compliant as they predate the release. Summaries are copy-pasted from the ao3 summary; italics are my own commentary added. 

is it that we are dying? (5k, G): England, 1349, the middle of the 14th century. The black death rages, and Aziraphale has to help a dying demon escape from a church. Sad and sweet, completely indulgent hurt/comfort

Don’t Play With Holy Water (30k, M): When the Bentley goes missing, Crowley isn't sure what to make of it. Unbeknownst to him, a certain lurking demon is waiting to settle an old score... A wild ride full of peril and body-swapping, Aziraphale is a BAMF

Mirror, Mirror (44k, T): Adam, Eve, and Crawly flee Eden through the Western Gate, and it turns out that that simple decision makes all the difference in the world... Parallel-universe Crowley is hilariously evil, regular-degular Crowley takes a turn as the bad-ass

with my mind on my money (and my money on my mind) (3k, T): Mr. Fell was as eccentric as Tim might expect a rare book dealer with a connoisseur's knowledge of cannabis strains to be, and he couldn't help being fond of him. Aziraphale and Crowley do weed, what more is there to say?

In which Adam challenges Crowley to a drinking contest and it is a terrible idea (1k, T): It is a rather foolish thing to set a bet with the devil, or even with a devil, unless you have an ace—or better yet, all the aces in the deck—up your sleeve.But if you are the Antichrist, the Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is Called Dragon, Spawn of Satan, etc., etc., well…you were born with all the aces up your sleeve, and the only admonishment you need is “Have fun, kiddo, and don’t screw him over too hard.”  Pure humor, entertaining drunk!Crowley

Game Over, Insert Coin (14k, M): An Account of Certain Events occurring in the Groundhog Day AU no one asked for, in strict accordance as shall be shewn with Narrative Interference of an (Un)predictable Nature for the Sleepless Reader. Exactly what it says on the tin, all your normal Groundhog Day AU angst

A Matter of Convenience (12k, T): “You know,” Crowley rasped as he struggled to scrape himself off the ground, “I can't shake the feeling that there must be an easier way to go about this.”A possible take on the birth of the Arrangement. There’s some sadness, some historical fun, and some Hurt Boys (tm)

Rarefied Air (3k, E): Earth is getting older, news is getting worse, and an angel has to go to extreme heights to get any peace and quiet at all. But as close as you can get to Heaven, you're still never far from Hell. (Hell hasn't frozen. Crowley nearly has.) There’s explicit sex in this but it’s so much more than PWP

Dark and Stormy Night (or Never Underestimate an Angel) (5k, T): “Hmph. I suppose you think that, just because I’m an angel, that I’m too tame to read a scary story properly?” Silly and cute, Crowley and Aziraphale are weird godfathers to the Them

The Curse of Horemheb (66k, M): “The locals call her Bibân el Molûk, but she’s better known as the Valley of the Kings.”Or: Aziraphale and Crowley run into each other in Luxor in 1908 and find themselves confronted with the consequences of actions three thousand years old. Sprawling multi-era adventure with some good fun tropes

off the record (8k, T): Crowley has to submit a biannual report, but there are some things that he often neglects to include. Cute, sweet almost-meta on the natures of Crowley and Aziraphale

A Sticker Situation (1k, G): Everyone's favorite angel and demon are innocently driving past a gas station when Crowley notices a giveaway that he absolutely must participate in. Crowley is a huge James Bond nerd

Under the Apple Tree (6k, T): Crowley finds himself in a tight spot, and Aziraphale dares to hope his help could turn into something more. Devastating, if you like tragic hurt/comfort this is the one for you

Essentially Social Chameleons (2k, G): In short, Aziraphale and Crowley are not as good at blending in with mortals as they think they are. There are better places to discover this than Newton and Anathema's baby's christening, but, well, we're here now. Very silly, one my my favorite genres (humans are confused by Crowley and Aziraphale)

the bucket list (13k, E): There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on.“Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?” *If you're going to go native, you might as well go all the way. Crowley and Aziraphale decide to try some fun human things, there’s some obvious smut but it’s not what it’s really about

Milton Was Right (1k, T): Adam knows where most babies come from, but is pretty sure that doesn't apply to him. Aziraphale and Crowley show their usual levels of competence in explaining where antichrists come from. Just...extremely funny

it's the light (it's the obstacle that casts it) (5k, T): It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is. Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho. One of my favorites

HERE BE SMUT

The One in Which Crowley Discovers Wanking (5k, E): It began, like most memorable events in Crowley’s life did, with a bad decision; like most bad decisions, it involved poor impulse control and copious amounts of alcohol. The Antichrist had been born, and he put on lipstick and kitten heels to deal with it, but knew that the clock was ticking, and at times when time was slipping away, it helped to hold onto a bottle of gin. Also what it says on the tin, Crowley jacks off while Aziraphale sort of helps

Come Fuck Me Hips (5k, E): Crowley has had a fantasy about Aziraphale for centuries now. Too bad the angel would never take him up on it. Except, as it turns out, he absolutely would. Crowley’s a bottom and Aziraphale is a service top, this is pretty much the only dynamic I accept

I Was Born to Love You (28k, E): Crowley shows up to take Aziraphale to lunch, and for the first time in quite a good while, he flashes just a bit of ankle. And that's how it all begins. Fun banter, hot sex

The Mysteries of Ladies’ Knickers (2k, E): Somewhere in the fall of 1963, Aziraphale was issued a new body. Later, he was never entirely sure if the mix-up following the assignment of its replacement was intentional or purely accidental. He had his suspicions. Crowley was not sure how to feel about it. It’s hot, Aziraphale is a woman temporarily, there’s sex, you know the drill

Love Hath Made Thee a Tame Snake (3k, E): He was the bloody Serpent of Eden, and he wasn’t going to stand for this kind of flagrant trespassing. Kind of borderline fluff/smut, the first half is mostly cute snake!Crowley

Killer Queen (2k, E): In hindsight, Crowley reflected, it was probably not one of his best or brightest ideas to introduce a six-thousand-year-old virgin to the subtle and intricate matters of sexual intercourse. Things could, frankly speaking, get a little out of hand. (Or, Aziraphale has a sexual awakening.) Oh God, hilarious and sexy, Aziraphale treats sex like food and wants to try aLL THE THINGS

Tryst on a Hot Church Roof (2k, E): Crowley has some fantasies. Aziraphale encourages him to explore them and not to be embarrassed. Neither of them can really take roleplay seriously but they still have a good time. Those nerds trying to sexily roleplay and failing is one of my fav tropes
